Can this shield be rinsed off and put back on? There are a lot of mini particles making small bubbles all over and I need to rinse it clean.

Yes, just make sure the entire surface is cleaned off really well, I used window cleaner, that seems to work well.

OMG, the shield is unbelievably loud. we put little tabs of the thick double stick pressure tape all around the underside of the rim of the bubble. We obviously left on the peel away plastic on the one side of the tape(the side that comes into contact with the metal). unfortunately I can't post a photo here but they were little tabs going all around the rim, I would say every 2 inches. it pretty much completely eliminated the noise. I will try to post a picture in the item description in the next 24 hours because I don't have the machine here.

Yes and no. I did remove mine to clean a few small specs of dust that had small bubbles. I successfully cleaned those and replaced the protector. You need a very clean and lint/dust free environment. Once it is in place and acceptable you don't want to remove it because it is very difficult to get it perfect. Just clean it installed.

Im not sure I am the best one to answer: I have not used this every day. But I have sometimes rinsed it in hot water or washed off the pad with soap and water. I have not replaced it at all. It is doiing fine for me. If worried, I might clean it with a stronger detergent or maybe rinse with alcohol or something. I guess if it got too grungy I would replace it, but that has not happened so far. As I say, I may not be the best person to answer this question. In any case I am happy with it.

Same issue here - I'm going to try and get a refund; the issue is that the thing has so much of an electrostatic charge, that unless you're in a clean room it WILL attract particles from anywhere. Once it gets onto the back of the screen, good luck getting it off without leaving permanent marks on the back, which of course are very visible once applied.

It is easily removed, and should be rinsed under running water. Every 80 cycles, or after 6 months of operation, it should be replaced. Wm. H. Young

There is a spray that comes in the package. You moisten both sides of the shield when applying. Then you use the scraper tool to take out the bubbles the best you can. It will tell you that the remaining bubbles will work themselves out in a day or two and it is true.

I find that the cheapest way to clean these things is with Polident. One tablet dissolved into the water before pouring it into the steam chamber, then run 2 or 3 batches of clear water through it to rinse. If this doesn't clean it, you need to buy a new one.

I have only known and used the wet application. the wet application being that you spray the device with a supplied wetting solution, and then apply the shield. I am using the new "glass" shield and love it.

I've removed one thus far to deal with a couple of bubbles (my problem during installation). The screen was clean.

Get it really wet and then make sure to squeegee out the bubbles. Leave the device off for 12-24 hours.

I've installed many screen savers. Clean your screen gently with a lint free cloth. I think they provide one. Remove all smudges and make sure it's shpotless. Watch the video. When you lift the final shield (number 2) be careful not to lift up the actual screen protector. It may lift a little but no worries. I think the most IMPORTANT thing is to work from top down rather than paste the whole thing at once. Work from top down evenly and you won't get bubbles.

Wipe it down with a used fabric softener sheet. Gets rid of any soap scum, water deposits, etc. Probably easier on the surface than toothpaste too.

I can't attest to the ability to remove it and use again. I placed it where the exhaust from my diesel blackens my white paint. Now it is much easier to remove, protects the paint and is invisible to see. I had no problems with bubbles. I just placed it where I needed it and smoothed it out with a credit card.

I think you can do both. But don't put the device itself under the water. I clean it with a cotton pad and a little bit of 90°C alcool or with antibacterial wipes once a week.

Good news I tried something I took mine and rinsed it a few times under warm water then washed the whole thing in warm soapy water now it's nice and clean and good to go, it's all dry now so washing didn't ruin it. I couldn't get the filter out of mine either my friend has one same thing

I don't think so. I've taken the filter off and cleaned it pretty thoroughly a number of times, using another vacuum and a brush, and gotten it quite clean. I haven't taken the jump and tried to wash it with soap and water, as I would with a truly reusable filter. Now that I've bought a replacement filter, I will try to wash and reuse the old one I had, but they don't call it "reusable."
